‘Who needs to explain? Sometimes things are just how you feel them and you shouldn’t think about it too much’ Lucy said and stroked Helena’s arm ‘You should talk to Jamey you know’

‘What do I tell her? Each time I’m around her I can’t remember what I wanted to say and I go and make a mess’ Helena said

‘You should tell her you did feel something and that the kiss you shared did mean something’ Lucy said and laughed at her friend ‘Let’s go downstairs and get some dinner now’

‘But what If Jamey’s there’  Helena said and looked panicked.

‘You should talk to Jamey after dinner’ Lucy said and pulled Helena’s arm to get her to stand up. Helena got up and went into her bathroom to refresh and arm in arm with Lucy they went downstairs.

‘Luc, it would be best to keep this a secret for Ruth and Emma do you understand?’ Helena asked with fear in her eyes.

‘Helena don’t panic I won’t tell them anything okay?’ Lucy assured Helena.

Together they went and had dinner with Ruth and Emma, Jamey was no where to be seen.

After dinner Lucy walked upstairs with Helena

‘I guess you really hurt her she didn’t even show up at dinner’ Lucy said but when she saw the painful look in Helena’s eyes she added ‘But I’m sure she’s alright’

Helena went to her room and the next day Jamey also was nowhere to be seen, she wasn’t at breakfast, not at lunch or dinner. Helena spent most time in her room doing her homework and that evening she had dinner with only Lucy.

‘Helena seriously you should just talk to her, this silence isn’t doing neither of you any good’ Lucy started.

‘I’m scared Luc, I think she’s mad at me’ Helena said

‘Can you blame her? I’m sorry Helena I don’t want to sound cruel but you’ve hurt her feelings’ Lucy said.

‘You’re right, I should tell her how I feel and say I was sorry for what I said earlier’ Helena said and stared at the floor, she wasn’t happy with Jamey being mad at her but she was very scared of facing her.

The girls stood up and walked upstairs together.

‘Luc I first going to work out downstairs at the pool I need to sort my head and I can do it best when I work out’ Helena said.

‘Okay, it has been a while since you went to the pool you used to go every evening’ Lucy noticed

‘Yeah I’ve just been so busy I didn’t have the chance to go swimming’ Helena said and smiled at Lucy

‘Promise me you’ll talk to Jamey after’ Lucy said

‘Won’t you come and join me?’ Helena asked

‘Maybe later I’ve got a lot of homework to finish and you need some time to yourself’ Lucy said and she hugged Helena

‘Thanks so much Luc you’re the best friend anyone can wish’ Helena said.

‘Just doing my job, just doing my job’ she smiled at Helena and took a left turn to her own room.

Helena walked upstairs and got her swimsuit and towel and went to the basement.

When she reached the pool she got dressed and put her hair in a ponytail and went to the pool.

She jumped in the pool and stared to swim, she was the only one in the pool which really made her happy, after all these years at school she knew what the best times where to go to the pool without anyone being there.

After an hour swimming she got out and she had to wait to catch her breath.

She walked to her bag and went to the showers she turned the water on and stood underneath the shower for a view minutes.

She reached for the shampoo and started washing her hair, what she didn’t hear over the water noise was someone walking towards the showers.

Helena had her hair covered in shampoo and her eyes closed so she didn’t see anyone walking up behind her.
